@Meta-Chuh
I mean, it’s not NPP that’s right for your needs, If you insist on achieving this feature in notepad++, then the Markdownviewerplusplus plug-in best meets the needs, promotion Purefunctionpipelinedataflow is not good for me, if advertising is allowed, I will promote my product Lin Pengcheng Financial Analyser

I rarely speak in the NPP community, like you, have recently been supported by the desire to add markdown literary programming features to NPP. So just come to the NPP community to see, by the way answer your question, that’s it, don’t grapple with topics that have nothing to do with NPP.

@guy038

very nice.
your recommendation is the best way, as adding # as part of word, will also trigger auto completion immediately, as soon as a # is typed. 👍

As a result, several plugins, but there is much to strive for.

why it is not same hot keys like for FindNext F3???))) it must be F3 and Shift+F3!!!

Why should it be F3 and Shift+F3? IMO those are dumb keystrokes and I have reassigned my Notepad++ to use IMO better ones. If, all of a sudden in Notepad++ these functions were remapped to something F3-ish in the Find window (instead of the Enter-based ones), I would be ticked!

Feature changes must consider ALL users and the different ways they might use existing Notepad++…before changes to functionality are made. (Not saying anyone is considering this thread’s topic for change). That is sometimes a daunting prospect, I know!

@V-S-Rawat

What other activities are getting changed and why?

only those mentioned above, as far as i know no other activities get changed.

@PeterJones I was able to replicate the issue you had and tried to see if there is a resolve as to why an edited xml file cannot be seen for an existing file loaded in the NP++ editor.

Observations:

Inserting a brand new xml (dcl.xml) into the autoCompletion folder everything worked as expected. Closing NP++ then replacing the xml file with an edited version, then reopening NP++, the file did not recognize the edited xml at all! Close the file, clear the recent files list, then closing NP++ and finally double-click to open the file, the edited xml was not recognized. However, if the file exists but has no characters inside, the edited xml can be seen. By beginning a new file, the edited xml file can be seen.

One item I did not try is to relocate the file in a different folder, then double-click in the file manager to open.
Another I did not try is to close NP++, delete the edited xml file, open NP++ (with file present), close NP++, reinsert the edited xml into the autoCompletion folder then reopen NP++.

For now the only resolve when an edited xml file replaces another in the autoCompletion folder is to start a new file in the editor to check the work…

Hope this helps.

In the context of what Peter tried to explain, maybe follow those instructions, telling us exactly what you did for your specific case, and of course what you saw when you did what you did. Your most recent reply is too light on detail to be able to make any determinations for you, yet.

I checked the settings of compare plugin and there was no mention of it capturing any keyboard shortcut. That is bad ethics. They should have mentioned their keyboard shortcuts and should allow users to change of disable that.

Well, you are right, it should be mentioned, but most of Notepad++ flies sort of lightly on the documentation, so…

After installing any plugin, you can go to the Shortcut Mapper and see what keycombos you loved for something else have been hijaaked.

@Maciej-Eckstein

Peter’s comments aside, HOW exactly would this be useful? It seems like it would be very easy to end up with several version 1.0.124 (for ex.) of scripts that are different content-wise, but yet have the same version # ?

hi @Jon-Y

thank you very much for reporting back
i’m glad you found the culprit.

I hope that the new location has now been settled upon and the next update will have no ill side effects.

all of us too Jon-Y, all of us too. 😉
